Black & White With You & Me

On the eve of our 100th episode, the BWYM crew gets into a loooong discussion that starts with Black Pedro sharing his new found understanding of deficit/debt analysis, and ends with him wanting to turn the world into Smurf Village. Rena-Marie and Mike try their best to bring him back to a monetized, capitalistic reality, which is a near impossible task. This episode definitely leaves a few cliff hangers as one topic bleeds into many tangents that took us completely away from our intended bullet points. Guess that means the conversation got good and we just couldn't stop. Check it out, and then let us know what you think!

Today on #BWYM, Mike Casentini, Black Pedro and Rena-Marie Villano discuss the topics of the day, which includes a speech from Martin Luther King Jr., relating to the statement "Boot Straps." Also, POTUS opens the "floodgate" for immigrants and the Supreme Court is in review. And, Isis salaries are down by half due to President Obama's continued effort in the Middle East to strategically cutting off what finances their efforts. The Princeton Effect: Ted Cruz is getting blasted over Twitter by is college roommate. Finally, Eddie Murphy criticizes Oscars...30 Years Ago!

This week starts with a recap of the latest Democratic debate, as Mike and Rena-Marie continue to look for specificity from Bernie Sanders and his plan to "break-up the big banks" while Black Pedro continues to not have any money in the bank. After last week's announcement of the all white nominees for the Oscars this year, we are seeing some big names in Black Hollywood speak out and even initiating a boycott of the event. They might have to give Spike Lee his 40 acres and a mule after all. The world of Rock n Roll lost another legend as the frontman for The Eagles passed away…and Black Pedro has no idea who he is! That's not even today's Mutha Fuck Say What! No, today's MFSW is even more disturbing than Black Pedro's lack of Rock knowledge or Rena-Marie never hearing of Mobb Deep! It's Trump's new theme song, and it's going to make your ears hate you! You're welcome.

The BWYM trio tackles some of the highlights (if there is such a thing) from the most recent GOP debate. It looks like all 73 GOP candidates are turning up the heat on each other, as infighting begins between Trump/Cruz and Rubio/Crispy Cream (Christie). But it's not just the Republicans! Hillary Clinton's camp is not very happy with Bernie Sanders' latest ad, calling it an "attack" ad, which is something Sanders has declared he would not do. There is definitely room for debate, and we do just that. One thing not up for debate is the irresponsible manner in which Michigan governor Dick…I mean Rick Snyder has handle the contamination and resolution of the Flint water crisis. He is now asking for Federal help…6 months too late! That's a Mutha Fucka Say What if I've ever heard one! Sean Penn thinks his life may be in danger after his encounter with El Chapo. Who would think that secret meeting with drug lords could be so dangerous??? Speaking of drugs, we've got a great little drug bust that will make you laugh…

Today, Mike Casentini, Black Pedro and Rena-Marie Villano discuss the topics of the day, which includes a discussion relating to the next GOP debate tonight.

Also, U.S. sailors were detained and released by the Iranian government within a 24-hour cycle, relations are looking much better than years past. As it relates to the gun control conversation, we found a few stories relating to a couple of dad's who feared for their lives so much in their own homes they decided to brandish and/or fire a weapon, which led to the death of their own children. Nice work America. Today's (MFSW), we discuss a brand new website focused on meeting white people, it's called WhereWhitePeopleMeet.com. Finally, we discuss the return of football to Los Angeles, the Rams are coming back after 20 years.

Today, Mike Casentini, Black Pedro and Rena-Marie Villano discuss the topics of the day, which includes some discussion about the political climate in the Democratic race. Hillary is feeling the Bern in Iowa and New Hampshire. There's a call for DNC's Debbie Wasserman-Shultz to resign and what does that mean for the party? Also, we found a clearly racist commercial campaign in Thailand, which says, "White Skin Is The Right Skin." Finally, another (MFSW) and this time it's all about Powerballin' out of control.

In this installment of BWYM, Rena-Marie, Mike and Black Pedro begin with a recap of Mike's 40th B-day and all the festivities, including what turned out to be a Golden Globes party as well. Everyone gives their opinion of the ups and downs of the ceremony, but still haven't figured out how "The Martian" was a comedy?!?! Did you hear about El Chapo's arrest? Did you hear about his secret meeting with Sean Penn while he was on the lamb? No, yeah, we said Sean Penn. WTF? Even more dumbfounding is how groups like the NRA continue to fight "smart gun" technologies that could prevent countless unnecessary deaths by firearm. Like the POTUS says, if we can prevent people from using our cell phones, why can't we do the same with guns? The State of New York is entering the medical marijuana game, but with some very specific restrictions that we just are used to here in California. This episode also features an installment of "Cops Gone Wild" where we examine the circumstances surrounding an Atlanta based rapper's detai

Today, Mike Casentini, Black Pedro and Rena-Marie Villano discuss the topics of the day, which includes a documentary Mike stumbled upon on television called Hating Obama, which is definitely not a good option for bedtime viewing, especially if you like Obama. We do a little response time for the recent town hall on CNN with President Obama relating to gun control. Is Ted Cruz a U.S. citizen? We put this one to bed once and for all. Finally, we close out the show with our segment, "Mutha Fucka Say What?" This time out, it's all about Maine's Governor, Paul LePage, with his clearly racist statements related to the heroin epidemic in his states and there's no apologies.

Today's episode brings us an update on the Sandra Bland case. The arresting officer has been indicted on perjury charges, but we wonder if justice is truly being served. The "saga" in Oregon continues as Native tribes begin to speak up about who that land REALLY belongs to, as the terrorists are now vocalizing their claims to ancestral inheritances. Mutha Fucka Say What? We revisit a discussion on superPACs and their efficacy in this current race, and try to figure out whether Bernie Sanders is taking money from one or not. Lastly, we preview an upcoming CNN town hall meeting on gun control in which POTUS will be in attendance, and try to wrap our nose around some of the latest US military technology being used to "sniff out" North Korea's H-Bomb test. All this and more as the BWYM train keeps rolling…ALL ABOARD!!!

Today, Mike Casentini, Black Pedro and Rena-Marie Villano sit down to discuss the topics of the day. We've got another, "Mutha Fucka Say What (MFSW)" some idiot in court was being arraigned and while leaving yells out the N-word, then gets called right back into court to receive 60-days from the judge. Also, with President Obama's recent announcements relating to an his executive order on gun control, what we've been able to deduce is that all sides agree, we need more law enforcement to uphold the current laws we have in place. That said, it won't stop there. North Korea has a H-Bomb? Good night everybody. Also, something's In the water in Michigan and it ain't nothing nice, Flint Mayor declares "State of Emergency." Finally, Camille Cosby will not be speaking in a deposition as a judge cited it would cause "irreparable injury."

Today begins with a discussion about gun control as the President addresses the nation with some renewed initiatives towards closing loop-holes and enforcing existing restrictions on firearm sales. A quick update on the status of the officer who shot Walter Scott in Charleston, SC early last year. Finally we end with what started as a civil discussion about the current state of politics in the middle-east, but quickly became a heated debate about a given population's ability to create change within their own country vs. their desire/ability to leave an oppressed state. No blood was drawn, but close…
